Gun-toting neighbor foils trailer-park burglary
A gun-toting neighbor foiled a burglary in a New Smyrna Beach trailer park on Saturday after he spotted people taking boxes out of a neighbor's trailer, then chased the burglars and detained them until police arrived.

A man called the Volusia County sheriff's office at 5:54 p.m. Saturday, saying he'd spotted a break-in at the Eldorado Estates mobile home park. The witness told police that he and his adult son were chasing the suspects, who'd taken off in an SUV after they were spotted.

The duo lost the getaway vehicle at one point, as it traveled along Taylor Road. But they quickly caught up with them and the suspects pulled over, police said.

-----

One of the suspects got of the vehicle and then walked toward the witness's car. That's when the witness got out of his car, pulled a pistol from his pocket and held it at his side for self defense, he said.

1. One point awarded for community policing and no apparent emboldening of crime by gun.
This is a nice, wholesome gun story.

How dreamy if gun nation USA could begin and end here.

3. You don't want to submit to the colonscopy to which any prospective purchaser is subjected.
